Cute popup that will motivate even the most difficult eater. Conejo, Miu, Osito y Chancito are sailing the seas when they feel hungry. This is a story to read while or before your child is being fed, one little spoon for Miu, one for you, yummy!!!

The famous tale of the three little pigs. One builds his house with hay, the second out of wood and the third in bricks. The big bad wolf comes along and wants to eat them…

Book review: ‘El cuento de la lechera’

In Spanish, from 2yo.

Once upon a time, there was a young girl who used to take milk in a jar to the village every day. One day she got distracted on the way. She started thinking about how she could obtain more money. With the money from the sale of the milk she could buy a hen. The hen would have chicks, she could sell then buy a little pig. Once the pig was big and fat she could swap it for a cow and maybe her calf too.

The young girl was so excited with her plans that she was not paying attention to the path and suddenly the jar of milk fell down and broke into pieces and the milk was spilled all over the ground.

This is a sad story about broken dreams but it is up to us to change how the story ends.
